How about the B-58 Hustler? It was big and fast and held the highest flight record for many years.

True that. It had a top speed of Mach 2 and in case I had made a list of 10 flights, the B-58 would have found a place. That said, most of its record has been eclipsed by SR-71 way back. However, there is one record which still stands - that is of the fastest coast to coast run at approximately Mach 1.5. This run happened between London and Tokyo, the distance being 8000 odd miles. Isn't that amazing?? :)
